Iowa Net + 10

In Hillary's great victory in Ohio, she netted plus 9.  Today in Iowa, Politico is reporting that the final number is Obama plus 10 for the county conventions.  So, Obama wiped out the Ohio gain today.

Ben Smith who runs a blog following the Democratic race has just posted the following to this blog.  http://www.politico.com/...

A pretty stunning gain out of Iowa for Obama, where an Iowa Democratic official confirmed to me just now that the county convention results will translate into a 25-14-6 edge for Obama over Clinton and Edwards.

That's a gain of nine  for the Illinois Senator over the results reported in January, while Clinton lost one delegate. (Edwards lost eight).

That right, that is plus 10 gain for Obama.  And Smith observes that HIllary's attacks might have backfired on her:

It's a welcome -- and meaningful -- gain for Obama on a tough weekend, and a result both of his long, hard work in Iowa and of a situation in which Clinton's attacks seem to be turning off party activists.

UPDATE:  Also, as wuck pointed out in the comment section, now Obama claims plus 10 as well:

Obama Nets Ten Delegates In Iowa

CHICAGO – Obama for America campaign manager David Plouffe today released the following statement on the results of the Iowa county conventions:

"Iowans went to the county conventions today to make clear that they want a Democratic nominee who will bring real change to this country and who will be the strongest candidate against John McCain. With all of the results in, Senator Obama earned 25 delegates, while Senator Clinton earned 14. Senator Obama netted ten delegates tonight. For comparison purposes, Senator Clinton netted nine delegates in Ohio."

Here is the link, this was first reported on the Field (go down to Update II). http://ruralvotes.com/...

I wonder if Chuck Todd is going to discuss this on Meet the Press Sunday morning.  

Another way to look at this is that Obama went plus 10 in delegates in his blowout win in Wisconsin.  So, Saturday was a Wisconsin like win for him.
